Holidays - June 2006

Other European countries have national costumes, feast days, days of celebration; the Scots celebrate Hogmanay, Burns Night; the Irish celebrate St Patrick's Day even in Trafalgar Square. Even the Americans have Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Hallowe'en (we have a very pale imitation). Here, St George's Day goes virtually unnoticed; there are no national celebrations - apart from, perhaps, local villagey ones, and all we do at Christmas is start buying in August and then overeat and get drunk. Is it the fault of the Industrial Revolution? The Break with Rome that we have no Saints' Days?

Why do Christian's allow their children to "celebrate" All Hallow's Eve? It has roots in Pagan beliefs.
And why is it okay for that one day of the year that children are allowed to ring on stranger's doorbells and ask for candy? When the other 364 days of the year, we tell them it is bad.

Just looking for real people's opinions and thoughts, there is no right or wrong answer here.

Since independence came at the cost of war between America and England.

This is Calvin. My favorite holidays for the year are Christmas and Thanksgiving. I am just curious about what are your favorite holidays? I am not asking irrelevant question b/c it is not Christmas nor Thanksgiving day yet.

Christmas is celebrated in U.S. But my question is how is Christmas celebrated differently in contrast with U.S. (any countries on Earth)?

I once found a website where families could stay on a French farm with a French family sharing duties such as cooking and other chores but did not save it and have never found it since - any ideas?
